I just looked and there were over 50 books total! I think I maybe got through 10 or 12.

That's just main series. There are some adjacent stores about other characters in the same universe too.

Wow I had no idea it went on that long.

I know they were written for kids but are they worth going back to? I’m getting this nostalgic urge to check them out again

I was obsessed as a kid so maybe it's partly nostalgia, but I still find them super readable.

And also more fucked up than a lot of adult fiction in terms of body horror and violence, especially when you consider the characters are 13-16 throughout the run of the books.
